ISE® Private Dinners are well-known for generating tangible leads and positive marketing outcomes, but many organizations have found that sponsoring a dinner series with a partner can minimize the financial investment while maximizing value for both organizations.

An ISE® Private Dinner Series can serve as a tangible marketing framework to accelerate your channel partner/vendor relationship and joint marketing efforts. These sophisticated events attract an exclusive group of key industry players, and each event becomes a forum for sharing your solutions and fostering meaningful relationships for both companies. Allow T.E.N. to craft a themed dinner conversation that aligns with your business objectives and joint service offerings; then let one of the many thought-leaders from our expansive ISE® Alumni and executive network drive engaging discussions during a gourmet meal. We provide a relaxed, inviting ambiance that will spark intimate dialogue about the issues that matter most to the executives, which is certain to foster lasting connections, inspire mutual collaboration and reveal unprecedented sales opportunities. Leave behind the traditional sales tactics and discover how a co-branded ISE® Private Dinner series can transform your sales and marketing strategy.

Program Conclusion

T.E.N. Program Management Services for ISE® Private Dinners

Create a discussion theme and abstract that corresponds with your business objectives.

Recommend and recruit an InfoSec Executive from our ISE® Community to host the evening’s discussions who lends their
name, title, company, and knowledge to the overall success of the event.

Understand your target customers to build a custom prospect profile algorithm, which includes key demographic information
on company size, geographic location, industry, title (level), and a “Top 50” list of named accounts in that location.

Provide profile backgrounds on each executive attendee prior to the event to ensure maximum preparation and networking
opportunities.

Coordinate all logistics for the event, including: Pre-event production and planning, material creation of the event, securing the
event location, on-site program management, and post-event follow ups.

Partner Signing Policies

T.E.N. will contract with one organization only for all events and payment will be accepted
from only the contract signer. This organization is referred to as the “Signing Company”
and the designated Sponsor’s Partner is referred to as the “Partner.” T.E.N. will accept a
joint sponsorship from a solution provider or vendor with a channel partner/reseller (VAR),
integrator or consulting services firm provided that:

One company serves as the Signing Company and takes full responsibility for payment.

The partner relationship must be declared by the Signing Company at the time
of contract signing or at least 30 days prior to the event unless pre-approved by
T.E.N.

Only the signing company is responsible for fulfilling the ISE® Programs
Sponsorships requirement.

Post-Series Analysis & Report

For a series of five or more dinners with the same theme, T.E.N. will provide a
detailed post-event analysis of dinner outcomes, including breakdown of attendees,
targets met, information requested and overall response to each campaign.
Report proves to be extremely useful in measuring tangible results and return on
investment.
